The strike called by the Sri Lanka Railways Locomotive Operating Engineers’ Union resulted in the cancellation of at least 20 scheduled train services this morning, according to Sri Lanka Railways.

The strike was started by the Locomotive Operating Engineers’ Union at midnight yesterday in protest of a number of important demands, including changes to the hiring and promotion procedures, which they claim have been postponed for nearly five years despite their repeated requests.
